    Remember when Trump raped a 13 year old girl and then settled out of court, then a few years later he said that people who settle out of court are obviously guilty?

      Interesting. Is there a site that has all of his convictions and settlements listed? This would be great in reasoning why he shouldn’t run for office if you have a link to all that.

        This isn’t exactly that, but helpful…

        He’s demonstrably the actual biggest loser in history, and he just got more loser-y folks… If any of you are starting to have your memories fade, here’s a quick refresher to read this morning and then copy and send to your aunt karen in Missouri.

        • 11 trump associates charged with serious crimes over the past 5 years
        • 12 million votes (the big lie) - trump claims he won the 2020 election by 12 million votes when in reality, he lost by about 7 million votes.
        • 13 of August, 2021 - one of multiple days that trump was supposed to magically become president again according to Qanon and a crack addicted pillow salesman (the two most respected information sources in the gop)
        • 14 year old girl in a youth choir that trump approached in 1992 to say, “Wow! Just think - in a couple years I’ll be dating you.”
        • 15 originally confirmed cases of COVID in the US trump said would soon be, “down to close to zero.” followed by, “like a miracle, it will disappear.” - over 1,000,000 Americans have since died of COVID as it continues to kill years later.

        • 20 the day in January, 2021, when Biden was sworn in despite trump inciting a violent insurrection to stop election verification at the US Capitol.
        • 21 gun salute that trump ordered for himself when he left office after a humiliating defeat, even though he never served in the military, famously called military members “losers” and “suckers” and actively avoided the draft with a cowardly “bone spurs” excuse.
        • 22 date in August, 2021, when Alabama hate rally crowd booed trump for finally saying people should get vaccinated, only after 700,000 Americans have died due mostly to his failure as president
        • 23 as in wrestlemania 23 in 2007 where trump, a cartoon level failure with no other prospects, participated in a fake bet that a proxy wrestler would win a fake fight on his behalf or he would shave his wig and hair plugs off.
        • 24 day in August, 2021, when trump actually filed a lawsuit in Florida court against YouTube, a private company, demanding that they reinstate his YouTube channel like a desperate, irrelevant embarrassment with no platforms left to abuse.

            That list feels like a classic Reddit comment, packed with smugness. No one is going to convince their “aunt Karen in Missouri” that Trump is bad using a Facebook-tier list like that.

            To answer your question, PoppinKREAM on Reddit often posted detailed comments with sources. Sort by “Top” on his Reddit profile and his fifth comment (as of today) has a much better list.

              Yeah, I was hoping this place would be a little more accurate in discussion. But it’s still the same circlejerk. “Orange man bad” gets all the upvotes, regardless if the comment is true or not.

                lemmy.world is a big instance and a lot of the Redditors from the initial migration landed here. But the great thing about Lemmy & the Fediverse is that you don’t have to stick with only one instance. I personally have accounts on lemmy.ml (where I landed after the migration) and beehaw.org (I joined in the early days and fell in love with their community & philosophies). I usually just browse “All” through the Voyager app though, so I can see posts from instances across Lemmy.

                Using Lemmy / the Fediverse requires a different mindset than Reddit and other monolith websites: you’re given a lot more power to choose how to engage with the community at large and the Reddit hive mind isn’t nearly as effective. There’s still going to be circlejerks and brigades and all kinds of shenanigans that come with forums, but don’t take the voting system too seriously and you’ll have a much better time.

              First, I’m not your friend. It would be embarrassing to even be mistakenly associated with you. Second, the things wrong with the list are most of your points are just your opinion or things that have no proof or weight. But it is telling that in order to come up with a sizable list, you eat the need to include superfluous bullshit points. I mean, you really find the number of women he’s had kids with troublesome? Or that he has inserts in his shoes. Nevermind the flat out lies in your list. For instance, can you name the multiple officers that were murdered on Jan 6?

            There is nobody on the fence reading this list. If they are, the jabs aren’t going to be the deal breaker.

            But this is moot. There are no actual independents. Just self aware ashamed in denial Republicans.

            The only work is activating Democrat voters and convincing the left of us that Israel’s regime sucks but not having democracy in America doesn’t help any situation.

              I really hate the “us vs them” bullshit, but it’s real. I don’t like many of the Democrat policies and am on the progressive side. They suck. But the other side is literal child raping treason Nazis. The fact that I’m saying that with no hyperbole in 2024 is so fucking wild. I wanted the star Trek future with a merit based economy and green alien babes… Not this bullshit.

                While there are policies I can get behind, I am in no way considered liberal, progressive or whatever other terms are used. So do you think I am a “literal child raping treasonous Nazi”? If your answer is anything other than no, this is exactly why the country is in the shit and there will never be any actual progress.

        Lawsuits were filled against the buffoon and the pedo by the same individual, but ultimately they were dismissed or withdrawn. They were not settled, at least in no way that can be proven.

        Now I’m not saying that the accusations were invented to negatively affect the buffoon’s election chances, though that is a possibility. I find it unlikely as most sane individuals, especially with what was known at that time, would not risk a crime or being counter sued by filing a false claim. Not to mention licensed lawyers putting their own careers and repairs on the line.

        We also know that the buffoon and his enablers and followers are not afraid to break the law or push its limits to make problems go away.

        Anyway they’re is also this

            I have no evidence one way or the other. It looks like the California case was likely dismissed because what was being sued over occurred in New York. And the cases in New York were withdrawn, but why that occurred is unknown. There may have been a settlement out of court, but I can’t find anything to prove that.

            We have plenty of evidence at this point to speculate on what may have happened. Could there have been a settlement? Yes. Could the complainant have been intimidated into dropping the case? Yes. Could the complainant ultimately decide that her own health, safety, and well-being was more important? Absolutely.

            These were all civil fillings seeking damages because the statute for criminal liability has passed. Pursuing a case like this as an individual is going to put her whole life under a microscope, force her to publicly relive the abuse, and open her up to cross examination by the defense. I think it is incredibly likely she walked away.

        In the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse.

        She then described in graphic detail how Mr Trump allegedly caused pain to the victim’s nipples – and claimed she saw the resulting injury firsthand.

        I mean, it’s not nothing… Far from even.

              And there’s the admission of definite Kompromat on everyone that ever had sex around Epstein.

              Epstein knew where these tapes were hidden and was absolutely imho assassinated for that knowledge.

    2020 - S05E08 - Don and Jeff’s Excellent Adventure

    Graphic details about Donald Trump’s alleged “sexual proclivities” have emerged in the latest round of court documents containing details of late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s associates. The new documents contain “incendiary claims” about the former president, including accusations that he had sexual relations with “many girls”, made by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Sarah Ransome. Mr Trump’s name has appeared a handful of times previously in the documents and, while not accusing him of wrongdoing, appears to illustrate the good relationship he had with the disgraced financier. In the newly unsealed documents, Ms Ransome testified that her unnamed friend “was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump” – including at Epstein’s New York townhouse. - TV-MA, 61 mins

        I would clarify that the victims were trafficked and often children, but his supporters are notorious for cherry-picking, and their favorite book (allegedly) is full of that and more, anyhow. So, yeah, you’re probably right. 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Ransome was another imperfect witness. In the fall of 2016, she had suggested to the New York Post that she had sex tapes of half a dozen prominent people, including Bill Clinton and Donald Trump—but couldn’t provide the tapes when asked. (Ransome told me that she had invented the tapes to draw attention to Epstein’s behavior, and to make him believe that she had “evidence that would come out if he harmed me.”)

          The men who support him also support this behavior. It’s part of why they support him.

      Back to running headlines that talk about how he smells like old cheese I guess. Sigh, what even are we supposed to do.

        Probably start actual fake news about him supporting progressive policies? Either his fan base would start to hate him or maybe we’d finally get some progressive policies passed

    Now, let’s tie him to Epstein’s “suicide”…

    I think if he got charged with murder, I might just dissolve into a puddle of happiness.

      Trump back then didn’t have the necessary influence to have somebody murdered.

        He was the sitting President of the United States, who had total control of the US Department of Justice, when Epstein died in federal custody under the DOJ.

        I would say he absolutely had the necessary influence.

          Yeah well we already heard what his lawyers would say, He is allowed to assasinate people against him unless congress says it was naughty. You know… those people he would just have killed before their votes were finalized.

        He had like a bajillion dollars and connections to everyone. You don’t need gov connections to have access to a hitman, they come to you when you’re that big of a deal… probably. Idk wtf I’m talking about though.

      If something like that happened he was probably tricked into being filmed cheering on hookers defiling a bed the Obamas slept in. Very common KGB tactic to hire hookers to lead on powerful people until they do something they don’t want public. Doubt he actually has a pee fetish.

      There’s a lot more evidence he wanted to or actually did have sex with underage girls.

            He wants to have sex with his daughter. He had Stormy smack his ass with that copy of Forbes with himself and Ivanka (and Eric) on the cover.

            And here are just a sampling of quotes, of which all are Trump but the last one.

            If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her

            She has the ‘best body’ — and I created her

            Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father…

            Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter than your wife?

            Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led [former Chief of Staff] John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter

            Edit - on mobile and cut/pasted only part of quote #3

    Meidas Touch found and produced a contemporaneous news article a few days back that Trump was “dating” one of Epstein’s victims, Anouska De Georgiou in 1997. Seems more than a small coincidence.

        What I’m alleging is it seems more than a slight coincidence that Trump hooks up with one of Epstein’s victims. That it seems like the sort of thing that journalists and investigative reporters should be taking a look at for obvious reasons. Like when did she first meet Trump, who introduced her, was she working for a “modelling agency”, when and where she met Trump, how she was present at these events, who paid for her accommodation / lifestyle etc.

    I don’t care if he likes to be peed on or whatever, but seriously try to imagine saying this to someone

    she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her ‘pert nipples’,” she testified.
